Northern Jefferson County residents with an interest in being a member of the school board have until Aug. 30 to dust off their résumés.

Board member Robin Johnson, who represented District 1, which includes Ralston Valley and Standley Lake high schools, resigned Aug. 12.

Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said Johnson has moved to Westminster, which disqualifies her from remaining on the board.

In a letter to fellow board members, Johnson wrote, “I have been honored to work beside you and other members of the board on behalf of the citizens of Jefferson County to support the achievement of all students in Jeffco over the past four years.”

Eligible candidates should submit a letter of interest, résumé and date of birth to Helen Neal, 1829 Denver West Drive, Building 27, P.O. Box 4001, Golden 80401. The application must be received at or before 4 p.m. Aug. 30. No applications will be accepted electronically. Board members receive no pay.

The letter of interest must include answers to these questions: Why are you interested in this position on the Board of Education? What experience and knowledge will you bring to the table to contribute to the Jeffco school board’s work?

Neal, chief of staff for the superintendent and Board of Education, said that by law an appointment must be made by Oct. 10.

“The appointed person will serve until the election determines the next board member for District 1,” she said.

Neal said on Aug. 16 that Laura Boggs picked up the required document packet for candidates, but she did not say whether she was running for re-election. Neal said she wasn’t sure whether Paula Noonan, who represents District 5, was going to run.

Those who have announced their candidacies for election in November are Tonya Aultman-Bett-ridge, Jeff LaMontagne, Julie Williams, Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Gordon “Spud” Van de Water. Each seat is for a four-year term.

Applicants must be registered to vote in general elections, be a resident of Jeffco for 12 consecutive months prior to appointment, and must be a resident of the district for the past 30 days.
